To sum it up….the wound looked so much better!!!! The bone they did not put a pin in….still healing….back into a removable Velcro cast, and now he can begin moving and stretching it daily-several times to strengthen it. He is not very happy about the cast, but he will survive. He can still not pick up anything heavy, 10-15 pounds max. Return in 2-3 weeks.
Thursday night a dear friend called, said a little bird told her it was my birthday and lets go to lunch…fine with me! I just wanted a good ole salad. We went to Zaxby’s, love the grilled chicken salad! We had a great lunch and afternoon. The funniest thing …..she thought I was older than I am….we have a mutual friend that is older than my sister and myself, who we spent lots of time with since our Dad’s farmed together. She just thought we were all the same age!!! It was so funny…she said..now we are celebrating your 50 something right, I responded with…. who me??? She said, yes. I said….well no…then she suggested she take her foot out of her mouth…we laughed….as I told her, well I was still in my forties!!!! I mean just hanging on to it by a thread!!! She said, man I was way off wasn’t I? We laughed some more as we enjoyed the beautiful day. Then we went to Lowes and a couple of other places! I just want to thank-Julie for taking me to lunch and sharing a special birthday with me…and in about 4 years I will be that fifty something, Lord willing! Love ya Jules! You are very special!
I just have to thank my family and friends for making my birthday special this year. We started by going to eat at Covington’s on Wed. for lunch. The girls could not do Thurs & Friday due to work! My dear friend & ma-in-law treated 8 of us to lunch! Now how sweet is that??? She also gave me a card with a little something in it…..Thank-you Helen for being so kind, I do not deserve such wonderful treatment, but I so enjoyed it! Aunt Mary came & joined us & brought a gift that was not expected…your to much sweet lady and I thank-you and so enjoyed your company…the fish will be on my desk & for now will be a pencil holder, maybe I will find a plant that I can not kill---silk maybe??? Mom, Buffy, Sara, Casey and Cayla also blessed me by joining us at Covington's..yum! Thanks again Helen for the treat and to everyone who took time out of their day to join us… I am grateful, you helped make a birthday more than just a birthday…you all made it special because you all are very special to me! I thank-you!
Kylie went for her 4 year old check up. I said that I was not going to go, she would be getting 4 shots! Now I have been for most of the others, but this is a tough one. 4 shots, thumb pricked, urine sample…oh boy! Well, I did go to help Casey and hold Kylie’s hand. She did so well…she did say that it hurts, really bad as the nurse gave her the shots. When she pricked her finger….before the shots…did not bother her. She did get her special band aids & that made it some better. Then she had to have a wart burned, took that like a champ too! She is in the 90th percentile for height and 80th percentile for her weight. I was so proud of her. We told her she could have a treat….ice cream..etc. All she wanted was to go see her Papa at the barn…he can make it feel better she said….the she would get some ice cream! Casey brought her out here while I ran some errands. She told Papa the story about the shots and asked him if he got them when he was a little boy. He told her, yes..but I got mine in my hinney! Well, that was about all of the shot talking. She just needed some hugs, kisses and orange drink & candy to make her feel better!
Well, our little Kylie has reached her 4th birthday. Bart & Casey had a nice party for her with family and friends. We all enjoyed her party with her and wish her many more fun birthdays. What’s a party without family, friends, cake and gifts!!! The birthday girl!
